Now Updated with 2008 State and Local Numbers
usgovernmentspending.com is now updated with the
latest numbers for State and Local Spending data
from the US Census Bureau. The latest values are for FY 2008. State and local spending and revenue after
2008 are "guesstimated" by projecting the change between 2007 and 2008 to subsequent years.
Note: usgovernmentspending.com always shows total spending,
including federal, state, and local.
We have met with families in which for weeks together, not an article of sustenance but potatoes had been used; yet for every child the hard-earned sum was provided to send them to school.
E. G. West, Education and the State
In 1911... at least nine million of the 12 million covered by national insurance were already members of voluntary sick pay schemes. A similar proportion were also eligible for medical care.
Green, Reinventing Civil Society
The Union publishes an exact return of the amount of its taxes; I can get copies of the budgets of the four and twenty component states; but who can tell me what the citizens spend in the administration of county and township? Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
Three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets
and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
